Midway, and Powder Valley. Midway has the largest selection-right now. I know it hurt$$$, but it seems that is just the way it's going to be.o_O

Good article and discussion. I had an issue with some 9mm Luger lead rounds that I loaded not chambering. I was not able to figure it out and couldn't find anything on taper crimping that really helped. I knew the answer had to be in there somehow but lacked the knowledge to figure it out...

Good day at the range today. Someone threw out 20 pieces of new primed 300 RUM brass. Since I don't know what the primers are, I'll deprime. Otherwise, a good score. Brought out 200 new pieces of new Starline 308 brass for prep.

IMO, no. A bad trigger is just that. I can shoot a lot of different triggers, but one that is truly bad is a nightmare. Replace it with a decent trigger. You'll be much happier and less frustrated. Case in point, I have an AR 10. The factory AR trigger was awful. It had a catch right as...

Well, NatureBoy was right. The accuracy returned. The photo is not oriented correctly. This is 3" high at 100 yards on sandbags. Now the muzzle brake was carboned up as well. I know there are a lot of methods to clean the muzzle break, but I used Hydrogen Peroxide and Vinger for an overnight...

Arguing with strangers on the internet is rarely fruitful. There're more than a few jokes in there too. If we're sharing information, thoughts and ideas, I'm good. You've made your point, and I've made mine. We'll find champions for both. Obviously, we don't and won't agree, and I'm ok with...

I gave up on the AR temporarily at least and went to soaking muzzle brakes. The 7mm Sako cleaned right up.

Varminterror, we've probably chewed a lot of same dirt over the same number of years. We're going to have to agree to disagree. I have missed shots-cleanly-for a lot of different reasons-even supported by a steady rest. There are 2 types of hunters-those that have missed and those that will...

I'm still working on a carbon ring in an AR 10 that looks like your after picture. I'm getting there, but it's a real bugger.

The 30 caliber pellets were out of stock a few days ago. I asked to be notified when they were back in stock. Until then it's old school-at least in that caliber.

All right. I think I'll stick with the recommended SAMMI lengths and keep my guns properly clean. Thank you.

Those were some of my thoughts too. I thought that less room may make the impingement issue worse rather than better.

I trim my cases to the recommended length of 10 thousand less than max SAMMI specs. I came across and watched this video that suggested that you can eliminate or reduce the carbon ring by measuring the chamber length and only trimming off 5 thousand from that length. Has anyone done this? If...

If you give it some thought, most hunting shots are some form of offhand-whether you're standing or sitting in a stand. You just have to be able to pick up the rifle and shoot it well without support. Don't get me wrong, if I can find a steady rest of some fashion, I'll use it in a heartbeat...

I just pushed back and forth with complete passes renewing the JBs every 30 strokes.
